West Knighton: phone box and redundant postbox
Because (a) the postbox is still red, and (b) I did not notice a replacement nearby, my guess is that this Victorian postbox has only recently been taken out of service. However, I had not travelled right through the village so I may have missed the replacement.

West Knighton: postboxes old and new
This view ironically both proves and disproves my comments in the description of this photo: Image On the one hand, we can now see the replacement postbox, by the phone box in the background – so I was right on that count. But the old one is still red, so I was wrong on that count.
